About:
Wrkflw is a command-line interface tool that allows developers to validate GitHub Actions workflow files against the GitHub Actions schema. It also enables local execution of these workflows, streamlining the development and testing process without needing to push changes to a remote repository.

Key Features:

Local validation of GitHub Actions workflow syntax
Execution of workflows on the local machine
Fast feedback loop for debugging workflow logic
Simple CLI interface for easy integration

Use Cases:

Debugging complex GitHub Actions workflows locally before committing
Validating workflow syntax to prevent CI failures
Iterating quickly on workflow scripts without waiting for remote runners

Alternatives:

act – Act is the most popular alternative, using Docker containers to simulate the GitHub Actions environment, while wrkflw may offer a different approach or simpler setup.
